As everybody is quite common with the
new tales that comes up in the news channels and social media every other day
about the very infamous BITCOIN.

One such most recent
news about this weird cryptocurrency is that it is compared as the sign of
antichrist. The Christian book of revelations states that people all over the
world have to get themselves marked on their bodies so as to buy the things
they need foe their day to day living. Now the question arises as to where
BITCOIN come in between such religious beliefs? As written in the religious
book this mark was a sign of necessity on every person irrespective of being
rich, poor, big or small. So the rumour goes around this way, some humans on
the earth have a strange concept developing in their minds saying this digital
currency may be the sign of antichrist that lets you buy, sell or survive.

“And that no man
shall buy or sell, save he had the mark or the name of the beast, or the number
of his name” as written in the Revelations 13:17

So this is must be striking you really hard as to how a
digital currency can be considered as a mark of evil. There is a term recently
hitting the news known as “biohacking” and microchip implants. And yes you can
say that this the root where the idea of comparing BITCOIN and the popped up.
Some researchers think that people must have installed chips with a BITCOIN
wallet into their hands.

On the contrary, where on one side of the coin there are
people who think BITCOIN as the mark of the beast there are other religious
people who think BITCOIN as the redeemer. Again the question is how that
justifies to be a saviour. As it a belief that people can avoid the mark of the
beast by denying to use for selling or buying, just like thatBITCOIN involves
very stringent laws and strict rules, it is not centralized hence prevents any
such control.

These days as the world is moving towards a tech savvy place
where even money comes in digital forms, people are more and more inclined
towards using those methods that does not use real cash but uses invisible cash
like BITCOIN. One kind of interesting theory that the theorists have linked
with the mark of beast is “one world currency” where they believe that the
whole world will be using only one kind of currency people may not have a
choice but to use this kind and BITCOIN is the one world currency. This concept
of one world currency is not new as it has been discussed and from time to time
conspiracies have been dug up that the day is not far when the world is going
to share one single type of currency which the economists believe would promote
international trade. As such the introduction of Euro has been a step towards
the logic of one world currency since it involved a large number of countries
that shared this currency.

There are many such theories where BITCOIN is connected with
different concepts but up to some extent some people think it is just another
type of cashless transfer or electronic transfer that leads to various corrupt
methods of money laundering where simpletons of the society get fooled and end
up losing their valuable assets and money into the hands of those advocating
the use of BITCOIN.
